    First of all, Clottey is not that good. Like I said. Clottey was not good enough to be Malginaggi sparring partner when Paul trained for Cotto. Clottey is a good pro but he's at his peak now and that's ranked 7th at 147.

        It's real simple see,Cotto doesn't posses the same aura that he did before his 2 losses!!It would be widely regarded that floyd casually decided to fight Cotto only after he was defeated!!

          Who does though? Would you rather see Floyd fight Malignaggi?

            The fight would be great financially but to be honest but it wouldnt favor Floyd Mayweather, he might lose.

            It could be similar to the Ricky Hatton Situation BUT Mayweather doesnt have that big of a chance to beat Cotto like Manny did against Hatton

              cotto was great but i think hes on the downhill now, i personally wouldnt want to see it, althought if it was made i would watch. pbf needs to get in the ring with either, mosley, pac, williams, or bradley. if not go home money. im a fan but you need to fight one of these guys.

                I think Clottey is too strong and would put a hurting Paulie, Paulie seems real fragile lately. I mean he got hurt but Diaz a couple times.

                I think he should rematch Hatton now that his hands are healed

                  and as a floyd fan, i dont want to see it.

                  i only want to see floyd fighting real opponent like he as been, unlike pac

                  so floyd schooling mosley and whipping on pac is all i care to see
                  Cotto is a better opponent than Campbell, Cintron, and Bradley.

                  Campbell is just going to put pressure on Mayweather and he is not strong enough. He could knock out Diaz. Marquez knocked him out and Marquez could not hurt Floyd.
                  Cintron got enough power to hurt Floyd but he does not have any boxing skills.

                  Cotto vs Mayweather would make good numbers. But it would be better if Cotto fought someone at 147 and beat them.
                  Maybe Cintron vs Cotto, Collazo vs Cotto, the loser of Mosley vs Berto

                    The real answer is Top Rank.

                      simply put cotto needs to take another fight he is with top rank but he would agree to any testing and i think if cotto beats yuri a case could be made for the end of 2010 and cotto's last fgiht, however arum my stand in the way
